Coffee

[lainey lou]

Has to be costa rican, black no sugar.
Gotta be in the mood for tea, again black no sugar, likes lady grey.

Much prefer the real stuff, but for one coffee in the morning, it isn't worth it, so I slum it and have instant. Doesn't compare, but it wets the throat, I s'pose. I dropped a million hints for a Tassimo machine at Christmas. Alas, they fell on deaf ears. Maybe I'll buy myself one for my birthday.

Instant is the p*ss of the devil!

yep ain't that the truth!

I'm a bean grinding gal for first thing - then tea all day, it's good to have a bit of both

I only drink coffee about once a week (usually on a Sunday morning but I was out Britian in Blooming yesterday) and it's filter.

Usually I'm a tea-bag!

I like the fruit teas only if I leave the bag in. If you steep it for the recommended time and remove it you just get hot water with aroma. Leave it in and it tastes like it smells.

I make OH an espresso each morning - to remind myself that I quite like him really!

I can't start my day without a cup of tea - any type really, but English Breakfast is my all time favourite (and when it's tea leaves, with a little Earl Grey mixed in).
Decaf whatever anyone is making for the rest of the day! Or Peppermint Punch - leave the bag in like Flum says - it's the only way you can taste it. I like fennel seed tea too - gentle aniseed taste.

Chillimad, did you manage to get the Camp coffee?

[bramble]

Tea person here, little milk and no sugar so I can taste the tea flavour.
Don't drink coffee but have been known th drink "Irish Coffee", Plenty of whiskey (Jemesons) with hot water, sugar and cream. Thata a coffee!

I like lattes, not keen on instant coffee, prefer filter. Have a cafetiere, but recently discovered Lyons coffee bags. Get a box with 18 foil pouches that have a bag in each. A bit bigger than a tea bag, pour over hot waterleave for a few mins and its lovely! Handy to have in my handbag for when I'm at work.
Flavoured coffee's are also nice.

If I had to chose beer or coffee I would chose coffee (I think I'm addicted) beer I can do without.

[pigletwillie]

Coffee for me, unless I am in unknown territory and the coffee may be pants, then I plum for a tea.

Snap! It's about the only tea I do drink - I'm a saddo and often carry a tea bag in my pocket in case the opportunity arises for a cuppa and all that's available is builders tea. I do drink it very weak though - I can just about manage a cup of 'ordinary' tea if it's weak. Waitrose used to do a tea blend - Lapsang Souchong and something? - that I also loved, but they stopped making it

Coffee has to be 'real' - currently drinking Taylors Fairtrade Organic, but also like Percol Organic or Cafe Direct. I love coffee freshly ground from beans, but convenience has taken over of late! I like to make it very strong, but then add lots of full cream hot milk. Yum. Only two cups a day though, or it makes me feel bleurgh! One after my morning cup of tea, then one at 'coffee time', mid morning - my dear late Mum was a great fan of morning coffee and I think of her every time
